      fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
      
      struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
      pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
      typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
      Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
      dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
      real parallelism increase.
      
      Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
      path lookup fastpath.

      param: remove unnecessary writable charp · dca41306
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      sysfs-writable charp arguments need to be locked against modification
      (since the old ones may be kfreed underneath us).  String arguments
      are much simpler, so use them for small strings (eg. IFNAMSIZ).
      
      lkdtm only uses the parameters at module initialization time, so there's
      not much point making them writable.

      USB: convert usb_hcd bitfields into atomic flags · 541c7d43
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1393) converts several of the single-bit fields in
      struct usb_hcd to atomic flags.  This is for safety's sake; not all
      CPUs can update bitfield values atomically, and these flags are used
      in multiple contexts.
      
      The flag fields that are set only during registration or removal can
      remain as they are, since non-atomic accesses at those times will not
      cause any problems.
      
      (Strictly speaking, the authorized_default flag should become atomic
      as well.  I didn't bother with it because it gets changed only via
      sysfs.  It can be done later, if anyone wants.)

      remove inode_setattr · 1025774c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
      moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
      can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
      
      In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
      so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
      
       spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
       btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
       ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
      
      In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
      which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

      block: push down BKL into .open and .release · 6e9624b8
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The open and release block_device_operations are currently
      called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
      first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
      on this have no regressions.
      
      This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
      operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
      next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
      with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
      be shown that it is not needed.
      
      The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
      remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
      layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
      of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
      
      Most of these two functions is also under the protection
      of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
      ->open and ->release, and the common code does not
      access any global data structures that need the BKL.
